Flying by the Seat of My Pants

The Fat Lady is Singing

As I commented on this post at AutismVox, there IS a Santa Claus! NYU has listened to our voices.

The campaign is over. I’d like to give props to one person, one organization, that spearheaded the effort — Ari Ne’eman, President of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. You can read his comments here.

I’m so happy about this. The ad campaign left such an ugly taste in my mouth. I used to be a designer in an ad agency, and believe me, they just want the best idea they can get so they can submit it for ad awards, and they don’t think for a minute about those that they impact. And shame on the client for not running it bey some of their clients – who are the parents of special needs kids.
